It combines text, image, document, and video understanding with reasoning, instruction following, and tool use. NVIDIA claims it matches the accuracy of its largest reasoning model at one-fifth the parameter count and delivers up to five times higher throughput on a single GPU.\n\nNVIDIA also released two smaller Bolt models for edge and local hardware: Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB (available now) and Bolt E4B 4GB (scheduled for October 23). Bolt 74B-A9B uses native 2-bit quantization to run locally on NVIDIA RTX and DGX Spark systems, while Bolt E4B targets voice assistants and embedded interfaces. Both models are available on Hugging Face with support for popular inference tools like llama.cpp and Ollama. Early adopters include Skydance (40x cost reduction for vendor credit finance), EY (M&A due diligence), and Ramp (50% higher throughput for receipt processing). NVIDIA’s NIM packages the model for production deployment, with updates every two weeks.","keyPoints":["Bolt 74B-A9B and Bolt E4B target edge devices with native 2-bit and 4GB memory support, respectively, available on RTX and Jetson","Early adopters report 40x cost savings (Skydance), 10x lower latency (Ramp), and 40% higher accuracy (Alice) in custom use cases"],"whyItMatters":"NVIDIA’s open models expand AI deployment options from data centers to edge devices, lowering costs and latency for specialized agents. The Bolt series enables local AI on consumer hardware, while Super VL’s multimodal capabilities could accelerate enterprise workflows.","category":{"slug":"models","name":"Generative AI & Models","url":"https://digestai.news/category/models"},"entities":{"companies":["NVIDIA","Skydance","EY","Ramp","Atlassian","CrowdStrike"],"models":["Nemotron 3.5 Super VL","Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B","Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B","Nemotron 3 Ultra","Nemotron 3 Nano Omni","Nemotron Lightning"],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-15T15:22:13Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-15T16:26:58Z","sourceCount":6,"hasPrimarySource":true,"sources":[{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"NVIDIA Releases Open Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Bolt Edge Models","url":"https://unite.ai/nvidia-releases-open-nemotron-3-5-super-vl-and-bolt-edge-models","publishedAt":"2026-10-15T15:22:13Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true},{"outlet":"maccus.fr","title":"NVIDIA squeezes a 74B-parameter open model into 24 GB and releases a 120B agent model that reads PDFs","url":"https://maccus.fr/en/nvidia-nemotron-3-5-open-models","publishedAt":"2026-10-15T16:26:58Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false},{"outlet":"venturebeat.com","title":"Nvidia launches Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, a 120B-parameter open model for enterprise agents, and says it outperforms frontier models on specialized benchmarks","url":"https://venturebeat.com/technology/nvidias-new-open-nemotron-3-5-super-vl-with-post-training-beats-claude-opus-5-gpt-6-1-sol-on-specialized-task-benchmarks","publishedAt":"2026-10-15T16:20:26Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false},{"outlet":"The Decoder","title":"Nvidia's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL is an open model built to run enterprise AI agents nonstop","url":"https://the-decoder.com/nvidias-nemotron-3-5-super-vl-is-an-open-model-built-to-run-enterprise-ai-agents-nonstop","publishedAt":"2026-10-15T16:09:44Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false},{"outlet":"huggingface.co","title":"nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Bolt-74B-A9B-24GB · Hugging Face","url":"https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Bolt-74B-A9B-24GB","publishedAt":"2026-10-15T15:04:12Z","type":"primary","primary":true,"lead":false},{"outlet":"aol.com","title":"Nvidia debuts three new open AI models","url":"https://aol.com/articles/nvidia-debuts-three-open-ai-150000000.html","publishedAt":"2026-10-15T08:00:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[{"site":"Reddit","url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1x6qamm/nvidia_squeezes_a_74bparameter_open_model_into_24/","points":null},{"site":"Reddit","url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1x6o31q/nvidianvidianemotron35bolt74ba9b24gb_hugging_face/","points":null}],"thread":{"title":"NVIDIA AI Model Rollout Saga Unveiling","url":"https://digestai.news/thread/nvidia-releases-nemotron-3-5-super-vl-120b-with-1m-token-context-and","storyCount":2},"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"NVIDIA releases Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Bolt edge models with open weights\", 15 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/nvidia-releases-nemotron-3-5-super-vl-and-bolt-edge-models-with-open-w","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"NVIDIA releases Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Bolt edge models with open weights","datePublished":"2026-10-15T15:22:13Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/nvidia-releases-nemotron-3-5-super-vl-and-bolt-edge-models-with-open-w"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
